I would first double check that the PERC driver is on the latest, as well as the OpenManage software. If the OpenManage software is on the latest version, you can restart it's services by pulling up the Services pane and stopping all 4 DSM services, then restarting them. That can fix a number of issues with OpenManage and will let us verify that the issue isn't a software error. I'm also happy to look at a PERC log if you would like to PM me one. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> | Hi.We have an R710 with an H700 controller with 5 physical disks in RAID-5 that we are swapping out to allow adding more space. The disks have been swapped by using Offline/remove/replace with new unit/wait for Rebuilding to complete, then repeat steps for each disk. The array currently has a single Virtual Disk in MBR mode - which we plan to leaving alone, then add a second Virtual Disk configrured with GPT to allow a greater-than 2TB volume with the remaining added space. The old disks were 300GB each (all identical models either as DELL-branded or OEM Seagates). The new ones are 2TB each - again all identical models bought in a batch: Seagate ST2000NM0045 Exos 7E8 Enterprise, 3.5", SAS.The first 4 drives are all on Backplane Connector 0 (so ID as 0:0:0 through to 0:0:3) and all report space as;Capacity = 1,862.50GB,Used RAID Disk Space = 278.88GB andAvailable RAID Disk Space = 1,583.62GB.The last disk is on Connector 1 (so ID's as 1:0:4) reports the same Capacity and Used RAID space, but it reports the Available as 0.00GB.

The write cache on Unity also is battery backed. The difference between VNX vaulting and Unity vaulting is the location where the data is vaulted to (system drives on VNX, internal M2 SSD on Unity). Both still need the battery to do the vaulting process in the event of a catastrophic power failure. | Hi, anyone has experience in disabling Battery (BBU) alerts on Unity ?

I swear the keys were added and appeared when I checked yesterday. But today they weren't there. After I added them (again), access is working as it should be. Sorry for the distraction. | I have installed a valid openssh public key to the iDRAC8 on an R230 server to a new user account (not root).

Wrong speed/latency, wrong size, wrong layout, wrong type … something is wrong with it. Try a single stick in the first slot.

SOLVED. I found the cause and resolution to the problem. It seems that during an in place upgrade from a previous version of the Qlogic Drivers and Management Applications package from 20.20.2.2 to 20.20.3.2, which is a QCS upgrade from version 30 to 40 (drivers remain the same for BCM57xxx in my case), and dll is not updated, probably due to poor packaging of the DUP. Broken QCS - gamapi_x64.dll version 1.0.27.0 - 982,016 bytes Working QCS - gamapi_x64.dll version 1.0.27.0 - 990,720 bytes Notice the same dll version but different size? Shame So by simply putting correct 'version' of the dll in the QCSR\ folder fixes the issue without having to totally remove and re-install the drivers and applications, very annoying if you're using FCoE and/or iSCSI functions. I got the proper dll from the latest DUP, Network_Driver_F58MD_WN64_34.07.00_A00-00_01.exe Nice one Dell. | Hello all, I've recently updated the Qlogic drviers on our 12G and 13G systems with the latest DUP, Network_Driver_F58MD_WN64_34.07.00_A00-00.EXE, [URL] but now QCS crashes on launch with the following error: Faulting application name: QCS.exe, version: 40.0.16.0, time stamp: 0x5ab27e63Faulting module name: QLogic Corporation\QCSR\QCS.exe!GAM_SetVLANTableCfg, version: 6.3.9600.19153, time stamp: 0x5b93ffa7Exception code: 0xc0000139Fault offset: 0x00000000000ecf30Faulting process id: 0xa60cFaulting application start time: 0x01d4abf3646ee005Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\QLogic Corporation\QCSR\QCS.exeFaulting module path: QLogic Corporation\QCSR\QCS.exeReport Id: a22e7ec6-17e6-11e9-8123-00074329ad08Faulting package full name:Faulting package-relative application ID: All systems are running Windows 2012 R2 which are kept up to date and patched monthly.

All, I replaced both power supplies and the server is running with no issue. I guess when the one power supply blew out, it also caused some type of damage to the other. I was hearing a high pitch squeal in the working one. After I replaced both I tried to also boot with one of the two and it continued to work. With voltage sometimes redundancy doesn't work I guess. In any case I've saved a server. | Hi All, At bit of a background on this server. It had a blown PSU after which the server would not boot. I pulled it from our data center to troubleshoot it and it's a bit of a strange one. The server starts up and posts with the working PSU but after it gets to the iDrac and finishes posting it reboots. I took out CPU 2 and had just one memory module with CPU 1 and the server posts and goes into the BIOS. I then took CPU2 and put it into the CPU1 socket and the server boots and gets into the BIOS. It's only having issues when both CPUs are in there. I suspect there may be an issue with the other PSU even though the server is booting. I'm going to try to get two good PSUs from another 720xd and see if the issue goes away to rule out the MB as the issue. If the issue persists with two other PSUs, would the issue then be with the MB? Thanks | R720xd posts but reboots |
I checked again, and it is definitely a license restriction. I deleted the enterprise license from one of our lab servers and the option to specify location became grayed out. [IMAGE][IMAGE] | I just received a brand new T440 server. Unfortunately it does not allow me to update the firmware to the latest version. When I login to the iDRAC web interface of that T440 server and click on "Maintenance" -> "System Update" -> "Manual Update", I only get a grayed out, disabled "Location Type" drop down box which is firmly set to "Local". So I cannot select "http", "https", "ftp", etc.[IMAGE] I don't assume this is normal, is it? I have checked the network configuration settings dozen times. I tried DHCP, as well manual network configuration (with of course correct static IP, netmask, gateway and DNS server). But the result is always the same: I can login to the iDRAC web interface, but the update feature is disabled like shown above. I also checked whether iDRAC actually got a working Internet connection by clicking on "Diagnostics" and then pinging a Dell download server, and that went just fine without any error or packet loss. What I could not check so far was whether iDRAC for some reason got an issue with DNS resolving, because I could not find a diagnostic command that would do that. Is there one? Also what I found strange: this T440 server was shipped with iDRAC version 3.21.21.21, that's from June 2018! Is that normal nowadays that Dell servers are no longer shipped with an (at least somewhat) recent firmware version? I mean Dell sent me this server just days ago. | T440 Firmware Update disabled |
I can verify that if a spare disk fails it will follow all failure processes of an active disk. This will include a solid amber light on the disk externally. The blinking of a disk only enables when you set to be enable it in DSM. See Enable or Disable the Disk Indicator Light on page 284 of the Dell Storage Manager 2016 R3 Administrator’s Guide: [URL] | Sorry for the disturbance, but does anyone know the list of HDD/SSD events, which will cause the front panel LEDs indicating them? On a particular SC4020 system I found: - The failure of single HDD in hotspare pool changed nothing in drive cage indicators state (both LEDs remained green), however, the fault was perfectly registered in web-console; - The LED control from web-console works fine, both via pop-up menu or HDD replacement wizard; - The HDD failure in a production pool also did not displayed via HDD cage LEDs. As for me, this behaviour looks strange, because the periodical 'alarm lamp' visual seeking remains the easiest way to briefly check the hardware state in 'machinery room'.

Yes, the first generation board does have limited support for non-130w 5600 series Westmere CPUs. The information I provided previously was not accurate. There is a processor information update in the documentation section of the R710 support page. It has more detailed information. [URL] | Greetings! Recently bought PE R710 and it appears to be Gen.1 i believe: DRAC says System Revision is "I" and labels on the motherboard suggest the motherboard is 0N047H however it doesnt match the label on the side of the machine which is 0H241F. I want to upgrade the CPUs for the purpose of my needs to the fastest, highest core count CPUs I can put in it. As far as I understant, considering its Gen.1 and can't host 130W TDP cpus, I can go for X5675. Is that correct? Current BIOS version is 6.4.0 - can I use it or upgrade is needed to host X5675 - I rather not upgrade the BIOS because I dont want Specter/Meltdown security mitigations -> currently performance is more important than security. Side question: in Power Monitoring in DRAC (as well as on LCD) power reading says 245W in IDLE and DROPS when system gets pushed hard which does not make any sense. Measured with external tool it is actually 125W when IDLE. I also upgraded to the latest DRAC FW 2.91 but readings didn't change. | CPU upgrade PE R710 |

Hello zj0328, What you want to do first is to reseat the SPS cable on SPS A first to see if it was loose. If you happen to have a spare SPS cable, then you can also try swapping the cable.

Hello The iDRAC6 does not have security features that are considered secure by current standards. Modern browsers and plug-ins like Java and ActiveX have increased minimum security requirements. The only two ways I know to get the iDRAC web server and console to function is to either reduce security or use older browsers and plug-ins that are compatible. Reducing security may not be easy, it may require using development tools that are not user friendly. Thanks | Hello so i brought a new power edge T610 and when i go to launch the remote access console I get an error (seen below) [IMAGE] The settings are: [IMAGE] | Java Unable to launch IDRAC application |
You need to use a Dell Update Package from either the iDRAC web interface or the operating system. If the backflash still fails then it is not permitted. The backflash will not be permitted if conditions are met that would cause the system to not be able to complete POST after the backflash. The conditions are listed on the 1.4.5 download page. No backflash method will work if those conditions are met. | Hello, I am trying to down rev an R640 BIOS from 1.6.12 to 1.3.7.

I am afraid such configuration is not available in OME. I'll pass on this valuable feedback to the concerned team. | Hi all, I have been receiving numerous Authentication Error alerts from my Domain Controller. After doing some digging I found that even though I had set up the SNMP service on the DC to accept alerts from the IP of my Essentials server, it was saying I had an unauthorized server sending SNMP requests.

you can run an "ip route add" to add it to the route table if you can ping a server in the new vlan then you will need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network/routes file to make it permanent you will need to add the route to the DD as well but it can be done from the DD mgmt. GUI | Hello All, I don't know whether this is a right question to ask but as a newbie to Avamar product,I want someone to answer my question regarding adding static routes to Avamar (single node grid). is it even possible ? We have two networks (network 1, network 2) which are isolated but recently we decided to backup all the clients from network 2 to network 1. since both the networks are segregated the networking team created a routing interface for devices in network 1 to talk to devices in network 2 and vice versa. so my question is, is it possible to add static route in (Avamar)IDPA for all the devices in network 1 to talk to devices in network 2 Note : the networking team did a ping test from all the routers (16) in network 2 to Avamar and to routing interface everything is reachable. Even the Avamar in Network 1 can reach the routing interface that's created but cannot reach any router (16) in network 2. There are no firewalls on the routers in network 2.So what changes need to be made on Avamar/DD. Is it even possible ? I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions. I can provide more details if needed. Thanks in Advance PK | Adding static route in Avamar |

I recommend you take a look at the Pair States section in the SRDF CLI product guide: This will help you understand the R1, link and R2 states with the various SRDF operations. A RESTORE operation makes the data on the R2 device the master and it will overwrite the R1 data. An ESTABLISH is the opposite, R1 is master. Perhaps you can familiarise yourself with all of the available SRDF operations as it sounds like an SRDF SWAP may be useful to you if you want to write at each site from time-to-time. SWAP will make the DR site the R1 so you will not loose DR protection. | hi, between two sites we have 2 SAN with srdf. can be vol1 in rw more and vol2 in ro mode?vol1 is the srdf part in first site and vol2 in the other site. can be vol1 and vol2 in rw mode? | srdf |
Hello Yes, that procedure sounds correct. If a rebuild does not initiate automatically then just set the replacement drive as a hot spare to be pulled into the virtual disk. [URL] Thanks | I have a PowerEdge R310 with a PERC H700. 3 drive RAID 5 with Physical Disk 0:1 Failed. I thought it had hot-swap but it doesn't. My question is about the procedure for replacing the drive. Since it's not hot-swap, I figure I just shut down the server, replace the bad drive with a good one, reboot. Then go into openmanage and make sure it's rebuilding. Is that all or do I have to do or do I need to initiate the rebuild? I can't find any docs on the subject. Thanks, | Replacing bad hard drive in R310 |

No, the PERC6 does not support OCE in this context. There are two forms of online capacity expansion. The PERC6 only supports #2. On controllers that support #1 the controller is basically performing a retag, it is rewriting the virtual disk size parameter. Changing RAID levels is RAID level migration. | Hi folks, and thanks in advance. The other posts I have searched out here have been helpful, but, have not exactly matched my issue, so here I am. :-) 2950 with 6/i controller. The 6i is responsible for 6 x 1tb SATA drives, with a single virtual disk for data storage. (not booting an OS) Windows 2012r2 server on the system, OpenManage admin version 8.5.0 Bios as up to date as it should be. In an effort to expand the capacity of the system, within it's physical chassis, I have one by one, replaced the 1tb drives with new 2tb drives, and let the raid-5 rebuild each time. That has happened successfully, and the virtual drive shows green light. All 6 of the new drives are identical, right down to the revision number. All 6 show a total capacity of 1862.5Gb, used raid space of 931.0Gb, and avaialble capacity of 931.5Gb.(the last replaced showed zero capacity avaialble, until I rebooted, now it's fine too) If I choose Reconfigure the virtual disk, it shows me all of the drives already selected, and it's greyed out. If I hit continue, the only option it presents me with, is to create a Raid-0 with a max capacity of 5,586Gb. (which doesn't even really add up, although that is half of 11tb, not far off the 12tb total physical capacity prsent) I understood that I should be able to extend my VD by this approach, but am not seeing any options in that regard... do I need to go into Bios for this? Or is there something I am doing incorrectly? thanks much, in advance! Andrew | Extend single Raid-5 on a Perc 6/i and 2950 |
Hello I suggest removing the hardware that you just added. If this issue started after attaching drives to the controller then disconnect those drives. One of the drives may be faulty or incompatible. Once you correct the issue of the controller being unresponsive you will still likely need to deal with a foreign configuration. You can find information about foreign configurations in the controller manual. [URL] Thanks | Heey, i have a T610 with a H700 raid controller (FW= 12.10.7-0001) i just swaped some HW in it, and booted into OS, then i wanted to add 2 new hard drives, for some reason it failed to add one of them in the configuration, so i just wanted to go on without it, but every time i start the server i get this "Foreign configuration(s) found on adapter. Press any key to continue, or ’C’ to load the configuration utility or ’F’ to import foreign configuration(s) and continue." i can't get past this, no mather what i press before or after, the only thing that works here is CTRL+ALT+DELETE for a reboot, and then it just gets stuck here again, can anyone help me out of this problem? | H700 error and freeze |
Hello Vijay, that depends on the type of Raid that you will be using as well as the type of data. In most cases that I have seen most customers create 2 VD instead of one large one. The biggest reason is the rebuild time, as with a 18TB VD the rebuild time will be long.

Hi Patrik, Are you following the same process as described here? <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> If so, I would try restarting the iDRAC to see if that helps.

Hi Brian, You are correct, you'll need to create another RAID volume for the added drives. Once that is created, Windows should then see them in Disk Management and you'll be able to format the virtual drive for use. In order for windows to see those drives directly, they;d have to be set to non-RAID, which doesn't seem to be what you're wanting to do. The easiest way to create the new array is to use OpenManage Server Administrator, if you have it installed.

Hi RRR, By powershell do you mean UEMCLI? The command you are looking for might be: uemcli -no /stor/prov/luns/lun show -detail Check the line that reads "Host LUN IDs" and the line above that. You can filter also for what you need only. Example: uemcli -no /stor/prov/luns/lun show -filter "ID,Name,LUN access hosts,Host LUN IDs" Sample output: ID = sv_xx Name = Test_LUN LUN access hosts = Host_13, Host_14, Host_9, Host_10 Host LUN IDs = 7, 7, 7, 7 So from here you get what hosts can see a LUN, along with the Host LUN ID they are mapped with. If you need to see it the other way around (from the host side, not LUN), then try the host command: uemcli -no /remote/host show -detail The filter option can also be used here. All these outputs are based on Unity OE 4.4.1, so if you are running dated versions, you may not have some options. Hope this helps.

Hello I would not create multiple virtual disks across the drives, if that is what you are referring. Slicing should only be done if necessary. I'm not sure if storage pools will be possible. I think storage pools are part of storage spaces direct, I could be wrong on that. Storage spaces direct will only work with an HBA, if S2D is required for pools then I don't think that option will be available for the H710. Also, RAID 6 requires a minimum of four disks. If you only have three disks then you could create a RAID 5.

Should I just use OpenManage to make a Raid 6 and also to make virtual disks? Then use them as a partition under windows? or Make Raid 6 in OpenManage then use windows server to see the drive as a storage pool, so as I can then thin provision as I like? and if i do should I set the allocation size under windows the same as dell OpenManage raid strip size. also should I make one big raid 6 array or lots of small ones? underOpenManage? Been looking for best practices on this but can't find anything. | h710p windows server 2016 |
Hello, Yes you can enable thin provisioning at any time w/o damage. The host is not aware of the change. Re: KB. That article will help regardless of virus or malware scanner. Since ANY read invokes a small write. DBs tend to do a lot of reads. So the SQL engine is going to be doing those reads all the time. Re: 64K NTFS cluster size. That is a long standing recommendation that applies across storage vendors. The 64K stripe size of the EQL array means that if you send less than 64K the read or write will be misaligned from the RAID stripe. On writes this means more steps to get the write done compared to one that aligns on the 64K boundary. Other storage vendors may use a different size. Unfortunately, you can only set that when you format the volume. So you would have to create a new volume format it, then migrate your data. However, if you are not expressing a large load on the array the difference won't be significant. Regards, Don | Hello, I want to enable the snapshot of a lun, but I have some doubts: Q1 - Where are shanpshot stored? In the same volume of the LUN? Or in another area? Q2 - The snapshot reserve (%) is the space provided for snapshot. Does this mean that if I want a 1TB LUN, do I need to create a larger LUN to accommodate this percentage? Does not this percentage interfere with the LUN's useful area space? Q3 - How do I estimate the space required to create a snapshot? If I select to keep two snapshots, do I have to double the amount of space consumed and so on? Q4 - What would these options be: - Make writable snapshots? - Set snapshot online? - Make snapshot read-write? Q5 - If I want to go back to snapshot, can I restore it to hot?

I dont think so you can ask formally via service request and maybe open a product enhancement request. | Hello, I have a customer with a Unity who wants to backup his fileservers on Unity using 2-way NDMP over SAN. Tape Drives are connected to two different fabrics. On Unity onboard CNA ports are installed with FibreChannel SFPs. Additional FibreChannel moduls are not installed. Customer does use sync replication on Unity. From Unity NDMP whitepaper I got information that NDMP 2way backup cannot performed over sync replication ports. Per default Unity spa_fc4, spb_fc4 are configured as replication ports. As we do not get NDMP connections to tape drives that are connected over fabric to these ports I guess that spa_fc4, spb_fc4 do not accept NDMP traffic even if sync replication is not configured. Is that right? If yes, is it possible somehow to disable sync replication feature so that these ports can be used for NDMP backup? Thanks. Robert | 2-way NDMP over Unity CNA ports |
I dont think this type of problem can be troubleshooted on the community forum - I would suggest to open a service request | Hello, I have a customer with two Unity 400 systems.

Hi aswokei, I'm not sure I understand your question. Please elaborate/clarify if you could. If you mean GUI management: then yes, only via the mgmt ports. You can also monitor / manage a Unity system with other tools remotely such as UEMCLI (Unity CLI), RestAPI, Unisphere Central, and a few more tools. On the service ports, IPMI is also available for access but this is something else (search the Unity support pages for IPMI tool). In any case: the other network interfaces (for iSCSI, NAS, etc) cannot be used to manage the system. You also say: "The Unity has designated management ports on some of the SPs". This is not correct entirely. Not "some", but all. Unity has two SPs, and both have a management interface, however only the primary SP provides access at any given time. Hope this helps Andre @ Dell EMC | The Unity has designated management ports on some of the SPs, but I was wondering if it's possible to manage the Unity inband--using the same ports that are used for storage.

Thank you! | Are the designated management ports the only way you can manage the Unity? |
You must use a controller if using a backplane - you cannot plug the backplane into the onboard SATA ports. You would need to find a way to adapt the power to provide for the drives.

Thanks for the manual reference, being able to see what you saw is very helpful. The module in question is a pass-through module for network traffic. It doesn't have any logic on it. I would try two other things. First, perform a power drain on the server. Make sure to unplug the power from the server, then hold the power button down for 30 seconds. The idea is to perform a hard restart of the iDRAC. That message leads me to believe that something is doing a soft reset of it, and we can try to clear the iDRAC by restarting it, and disabling the front panel to isolate that. The second thing you may try is flashing the iDRAC firmware. iDRAC 2.61.60: [URL] | There are constant reloads of the module BMС.

Hello, I re-read your reply, and I believe I found the issue. In your subject, you mention using the H330, but the pciture shows the S130. Enabling RAID mode in the BIOS activates the PERC S130, which may be interfering with the H330. What I would do is toggle RAID mode off and go back to AHCI mode. Then, depending on if you're in UEFI or BIOS boot mode, watch for the Control + R option to access the H330 configuration utility, or go into F2 and then the Device Settings menu to select the H330, and you can check on your storage from within there. | I have a new Dell PowerEdge T130 with Perc H330.

You've pretty much covered it and generally, yes, it's that easy. Pulling some of your comments in: It pulls one IP address per node added per pool. There are three assigned (int-a, int-b and failover), but it's only using one address from each of the three pools. If you want addresses assigned, then this is correct. You don't need addresses, though, if you don't want them on the network. If you're not assigning addresses, make sure you remove interfaces from any pools that are automatically configured via the pool rules. Power on each node and either use a serial connection or front display to select option to join existing cluster. Wait while OneFS on the new nodes is upgraded or downgraded to match the version of the cluster. You can also add them through the WebUI. Other things to watch for: Make sure you do NOT have a Node Firmware Package (NFP) installed. If it is installed and you try to add the node, it will fail. Drive Support Package (DSP) should be fine, but I've had issues a couple of times with that. If you want to go into advanced installation... The recommendation I make to the field support before installing a new node is to stand the node up as a single-node cluster (Infiniband and front end network cables MUST be unplugged). Once the node is up, install NFP and DSP, update firmware for the node and drives, then reimage it to the base level the cluster is running, boot to the install wizard and plug in the network cables. That way, you don't have to go through the firmware update procedure if it's down-rev from current while the node is active in the cluster. | Having never added a node to an existing cluster i thought i would check if my thinking is correct here. We have an existing 8 node cluster and adding some more nodes. These are identical model and spec nodes to the existing ones so not having to worry about compatibility issues there. But from what i can find its pretty straight forward but almost seems too straight forward, hence asking the question. Pre-Implementation/Checks Internal IPs - Int-a and int-b has an IP range of 40 addresses. And believe you only need 2 per node so that's all good as we are not going up to 20 nodes. External IP Range in subnets - Edit these to ensure have enough IP's if allocated as Static or Dynamic so each node can have at least one IP allocated. Implementation Rack and Cable up to Inifiniband switches and external network switches. Power on each node and either use a serial connection or front display to select option to join existing cluster. Wait while OneFS on the new nodes is upgraded or downgraded to match the version of the cluster. Post Implementation If i look in the WebGUI i should see on the Dashboard the new nodes listed after a couple minutes if all has gone well? The nodes will join the node pools automatically as they are the same model and spec as existing nodes wont they? All i would need to do now is edit the IP pool in each External network subnet and add in this node and that should be it, shouldn't it? Make sure that run either the Multiscan job or the Autobalance & Collect jobs to balance out the disk usage across the cluster. Questions Does that look right? Is it really that simple in theory or have i missed something obvious? And if you were adding multiple nodes to a cluster i assume you can add them all in one go? So can power one up, select join the cluster, power on the next, select join the cluster and repeat? If you wouldn't mind letting me know if i've missed anything obvious or not that would be appreciated. Thanks | Check Adding New Node Process |
Hello Based on your description, it does not sound like you are using an H330 HBA. If you have RAID 1 and RAID 5 virtual disks created on the H330 then it is the H330 RAID controller. We have an article about performance expectations on controllers without cache, especially when using parity. 20MB/s sustained writes with RAID 5, SATA spindle drives, and a controller without cache does not sound abnormal to me. The performance impact of the RAID 5 will be felt on the RAID 1 with SSDs because the controller has to pause all I/O to perform parity calculations once the queue is full. [URL] If you go to the R540 support page and select ESXi 6.5 in the OS drop-down there is a category called Enterprise Solutions. That has the custom images we provide.

Hello, [URL] Above is the link to the H310 user guide. Based upon a review of that guide, it appears that the additional storage space will be available upon completion of the reconstruction operation. Considering that the drives are not members of the array until after the completion of this operation, I wouldn't expect that capacity to be available because the logical block addressing hasn't been created yet. Once the operation is completed, Windows will still not yet expand the partitions. You would need to expand the partitions after the reconstruction, in order to make that raw storage into usable space. Finally, the speed that you're seeing for the rebuild isn't unusual. This is a result of the controller being slower compared to the H710 or H710P, and that we have SATA drives. | We have a PowerEdge T320 Server running Windows Server 2008 SP2.

Due to a lack of space on both our main server and the Backup drive, we have commenced the process of getting a major upgrade with a new SAN for our main data, and the existing SAN to replace the current Backup drive. This is taking some time, however, and in the meantime we need more space.

Hello Christoph, ADAPT or Distributed RAID is similar to Dynamic Disk Pooling (DDP) on an MD3 systems. In essence, DDP functions as effectively another RAID level offering in addition to the previously available RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, and 6 traditional RAID Disk Groups. DDP greatly simplifies storage administration because there is no need to manage Idle spares or RAID groups. Please let us know if you have any other questions. | Dear Community, I am currently setting up a new ME4024 with 24x SAS Disks. It will be used as a backup repository. Usually I would use a RAID5 with Hotspare Disk. But I noticed that there is an "ADAPT" mode for the pool configuration. Can anyone explain how this exactly work? I already read the administrators guide with the description, but could not find out how it works technically. Maybe there is some kind of picture to see how this mode handels data blocks / stripes on the disk? Thank you! Christoph | ME4024 - ADAPT vs. RAID5 |
it depends what you understand as "disrupt connectivity" a reboot - no matter how fast - will always be kind of disruptive on the lower levels and a client will have to at least re-establish the TCP connection The question is more how much of that is visible to the client OS and application NFS clients using default hard mounts will just see a pause in I/O but no error to applications The OS and protocol stack will of course re-establish the connection, recover locks, .... for CIFS clients it depends on the application and OS Windows itself will automatically reconnect cluster aware application that retry internally should be ok simple applications like copying files via explorer.exe can stop and show a "Try again" dialog For those application that really require transparent failover - like SharePoint or Hyper-V over SMB shares you can enable SMB CA (Continuous Availability) per share then they will also just pause and resume I/O similar to NFS See the NAS white paper and Microsoft details about CA in SMB3 Why dont you just try it ?? all an upgrade is doing is a SP reboot - which you can easily do even from the GUI If you dont want to use your hardware Unity as VSA will show the same behaviour | Hi All, Is the Unity OE upgrade going to disrupt connectivity to the CIFS and NFS shares that are configured on the array? As far as I understands how it is configured, and how it is supposed to work, it will be a disruptive activity. However I cannot find any kind of confirmation for that on the DELL EMC support site, or any KBs, whitepapers that would prove the opposite. Has anyone had any recent experience with upgrading Unity OE on the Unity that has file shares configured? If so, can you please share what exactly happened to the client connections to the file shares and how you handled it, if you had to do anything at all?

Hello If you perform a transfer of ownership to get the server registered to you then you may be able to recover the license. Once the transfer of ownership is complete you can contact customer care and request the registration code to add the license to your digital locker. Once it is in your digital locker you can download it whenever you like. Transfer of ownership requires account verification of the current registered owner, so it is intended to be performed by the current owner. If you are unable to get the seller to perform the transfer or you don't know the required information to fill out the transfer of ownership, the transfer may be denied. Thanks | Hello, I've purchased an out-of-warranty R720 for my personal learning homelab, and I see the original manifest included the following: Part number: KV4ND Quantity: 1 Description: SERVICE INSTALL MODULE, IDRAC7, ENTERPRISE, PERP The physical iDRAC7 is present, but the server has been competently wiped and so the Enterprise license key is not present.

This is correct. The CG needs to reach a Logged Image Access state to enable failover. Rgds, Rich | Hello All, I am trying to test my failover capabilities through RPA. After enabling 'Image access' (physical) and mounting the replica LUN to the DR ESXi 5.5 hosts, I am not able to do the 'Failover Actions - Failover to remote replica' (as shown in the picture below). This options is grayed out. I don't have any SRM and my policy setting for 'Stretch cluster/VMWare SRM support' etc are set to NONE. Without the failover actions, I am not able to replicate back my changes to the Prod_Test site. I need suggestions. Am I missing any policy or any configuration? Also, as seen in the picture below, the storage status in the DR_Test (remote side) is showing 'Enabling logged access'. So does this mean that this is still processing this enabling and that's the reason why it is grayed out? I am however able to mount the replica LUN, add the replicated VM to the inventory, boot it up and browse the replicated VM at my DR site. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Thanks for your post. The current implementation of OpenManage Enterprise needs the IP ranges to be distributed into smaller ranges of 10,000 IPs even though lesser number of devices are actually present in the range. It is because irrespective of how many number of devices are present, the appliance needs to scan through all the IPs. And when you provide there won't be enough thread available. So, at this point in time, the only feasible solution is to break the IP range into smaller ranges. | Hey, i am running the OM Enterprise Appliance Version 3.0.0 (Build 990) I want to discover two ranges like 10.0.0.0/16. So from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.255.255. OM Enterprise does not allow me to do this, as this is more than 10.000 IPs.At all there are less than 1000 hosts in this range. (lets please do not discuss the sense of this :smileyhappy:) a) How can I discover this range? Adding several small ranges ist just nothing I want to do with this size b) Can I add hosts via REST API or similar? I checked the API but did not see the option to add hosts via API.

yes you can | It might sound like a stupid question but can SAS cables be disconnected/removed between a MD3260 and a R720 while the server is powered on? I already removed all the accesses between the MD and the server (no more mounts, multipath devices removed, linux devices removed, MD LUNs deleted, MD host mappings deleted, etc). The MD is not used anymore and can be shutdown at any time but the server cannot be shutdown. So I guess it would be safe to disconnect the cables but I don't want to get any surprises while doing it (like some kernel panic or any other malfunction). | Disconnect SAS cables while the server is powered on |

There is no right or wrong way to accomplish what you are doing. The two types of workflows can essentially support both use cases, i.e. protection and repurposing. The protection seems straightforward for you. The service plan can be utilized to keep any number of copies, ready to be utilized for restoring. The time to restore I cannot state, but from working with many other customers, AppSync has reduced those times significantly..all dependent upon the environment of course. For the other use case, repurposing, you can utilize either type of workflow. I suggested service plans, due to the way your applications are laid out. If there are multiple applications within one CG, then you really do not have a choice, unless you can break them up at the storage layer. If you can create unique CGs per application/database, then the repurposing workflows are certainly more conducive for your purposes. Utilizing the repurposing workflows will provide the ability to create 1st and 2nd gen copies. The 1st gen could also be utlized for a restore, so long as it is never mounted, and the 2nd gen copies happen near instantaneously, though the mount operations may take longer. The 2nd gen copies can be divvied out to the developers, who all will have a working copy of the 1st gen. This solution will only affect the application once. This is of course, as we have discussed, dependent upon the layout of the CGs, as the repurposing workflows perform copy management differently than the service plans. | Hey guys, I'm a Database Developer trying to get a handle on Appsync so we can start using it with our XtremIO SAN, and take away some of the hassle from our overworked Sysadmin, who has been mounting Protect (Service Plan) copies, unmounting and complaining of having to manually unmapping and expiring the copies. I'm trying to perform a regular repurpose copy for development, but I am finding when I perform a snapshot repurpose, that it says in the details: The problem here is, although I am on the "User Databases" page of "Copy Management", I am selecting a single database, and I want to just repurpose that single database - and instead, this makes a g1 copy of all the databases on the server. Is there something I'm doing wrong here - why is it choosing All Databases when I am after the one? We're also finding that in the XtremIO utility, it is reporting the copy is the full size of the original - so, for a 50gb database, it'll report that an additional 50gb is used for each copy we make - eg 3 copies is 150gb on our XtremIO. My understanding was that it was a point-in-time diffed copy and it would only accrue additional space as the two copies became different from each other? | Creating a Repurpose SQL snapshot on XtremIO - all databases |

Hello irfon-kim, If your replacement drive doesn’t have an EMC part# on the drive, then it will not be seen by your VNXe3100. In most cases when running an older flare code on your system and using an EMC replacement HDD the drive will show up. If the drive doesn’t have an EMC part# on it, then it doesn’t have the EMC firmware on it so that it can be seen by your VNXe3100. Please let us know if you have any other questions. | Hi! I'm new to VNXe. I've just had a system dropped on me that has had a disk fault. We ordered a replacement disk from our vendor, and they told us that the disk in question was no longer available for purchase, but that they had a replacement that would work. When installing it, the system doesn't see it at all, and thus doesn't rebuild across it. The vendor has told us that their "EMC guys" have suggested that we need to "format and initialize" the disk. I can find no such option during my brief tour through the Unisphere interface, the Unisphere CLI command reference, or the help page when logged in via SSH. We're having a few other oddball problems that might simply be due to slightly older system software (2.4.0.20932), but we can't install upgrades to either the system software or the hard disk firmware while the system doesn't pass a health check, so getting the faulted disk(s) successfully replaced seems to be the top priority. The system is in use, which makes wiping or re-initializing the entire box undesirable. Does such a function exist? If so, how do I find it? Or is the vendor spinning tales? | VNXe3100: Format a disk? |

Hi Abdurrahman, It looks like 2666 MHz support was later added to the R730, so the DIMMs should work, but they'll be slowed down to 2133MHz (to match the others). You are correct about the slot population. Thanks, | Hello, I have a R730 with 2x E5 2670 v3 and 2x 16 GB - 2RX4 RDIMM 2133 MHz. I am thinking to upgrade the memory with 2x 32GB - 2Rx4 RDIMM 2666MHz. In R730 owner's manual, it is said that frequency can be 1866, 2133 or 2400. So can this 2666MHz memory module work at 2133MHz with 16Gb-2133 MHz memory modules without any problem?

Hello I suggest that you verify the model is correct. You should also check the listed capabilities of the interface within the operating system.
